True, things are starting to even more ugly, the troll running NK might be stupid enough to actually start something, even if he dies in the process. NK should be real careful, trump needs a major distraction at the moment and nuking NK would sure as heck be a Major Distraction.
Surprised to see you are watching CNN.

If we do anything in North Korea, Russia and China get serious about undermining the dollar.

Go for it.

Not worth it.

The North Koreans always think it’s all-out war; Posturing and blustering about US aggression and their response is business as usual there.

Not really. Confirmed with 4 sources CNN had the least ads.

It seems pretty obvious that NK is becoming a real global problem. They have been ramping up that nuclear program for a while, but lately they have put it in overdrive. That little sh**head over there is absolutely crazy and with China not wanting to break with them, it makes for one sticky situation.

I'm not normally one who is for limiting trade with other countries, but we buy so much from China that those dollars have to mean something to them. Maybe if we found a way to stop buying so much they would get the message.

Frankly, I have no idea what to do to solve this NK mess, guess that is why I am not in the administration that does have to solve it.

Keeping in mind their history explain specifically what you mean by "prepare".

I'm looking for something solid and well thought out.

Not some vague insinuation based upon the USUAL rhetoric with NK that is decades and decades old.

I personally remember their sea of fire comments as well as others. Now sure, they might lob some shells or sink a SK destroyer but that's the extent of the bluster.

There are right now 3 aircraft carriers in that area. I believe that a war is imminent.

Imagine shall we for a couple moments that say you hear at 5 pm next week that the United States and it's allies are launching an all out assault on NK. How do you think most people will respond?

This is what I think:

There will be a run on grocery stores for water and canned food.
Gun stores will be mobbed.
Gas stations will have lines
ATM machines will be very busy.
Tempers and actions in major cities will be brittle.

So preparation in my mind as least means having these supplies already and staying out of the center of any city especially those with high concentrations of Asian people.

Strategic enough?
